My name is MacKenzie, I am 22 years old and I am looking for owners who need a variety of pet care ranging from intermediate dog training, cat and dog sitting/boarding and dog walking! I have four dogs and I am currently training one to be a service animal and am lightly training two others in scent detection and guard training! Two of them are pits and one is a german shepard mix, even my 10 month daschund is trained and is a great emotional support animal. I grew up helping my grandfather at his vet clinic and around their livestock where he showed me at a young age how he helped train others dogs. My boyfriend is a big contributor to our w

Your Dog Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much are dog training prices near me?

Professional dog training costs $30 to $50 per group class and $45 to $120 per private session. Dog obedience training schools cost $200 to $600 per week, and boot camp kennel training costs $500 to $1,250 per week. Get exact prices by contacting affordable dog trainers near you.

What do professional dog trainers do?

Local dog trainers teach dogs basic obedience, behavioral modification, agility, personal protection or guarding, emotional support, therapy or service dog training, show dog handling, puppy training, trick training, hunting training, police dog or K9 training, and other types.

Certified dog trainers offer group classes, private lessons, or come to your home for one-on-one training. The best in-home dog trainers also teach the owner how to train commands, use body language, and offer proper reinforcement guidance. Many dog trainers use positive reinforcement, which uses a reward (treats, praise, toys) for desired behaviors.

What is the best age to train a dog?

Puppies 7 to 8 weeks of age begin to learn basic obedience commands such as “sit,” “stay,” “stand,” and “down.” Professional dog training traditionally starts at 6 months old. By delaying training, behavioral patterns learned during puppyhood likely take longer to change.

Can you train an old dog?

Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks! Dogs can learn and be trained at any age. Older dogs have more self-control and are easier to train than young puppies. Continuing to train your dog as it matures is also important to help keep their mind sharp.

Is paying for private dog training worth it?

Private dog training helps correct your dog’s behavior, aggression, anxiety, socialization skills, and teaches them a commands list in a timely and cost-effective manner. Common commands dogs learn quickly are to stay, heel, and roll over.

Professional dog training is valuable because it teaches your dog not to jump or bite, to stop barking, to stay in the yard off-leash, potty training, to use a dog door, not to pull on a leash, hand signals, and much more.

Which dog breeds are easy to train?

The easiest dog breeds to train are an Australian Shepherd, Corgi, Bearded or Border Collie, Poodle, Miniature Schnauzer, Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and a Doberman Pinscher. Female canines of all breeds are also easier to train and housebreak.

Which dog breeds are hard to train?

The hardest dogs breeds to train are a Husky, Mastiff, Pug, Beagle, Bulldog, Weimaraner, Afghan Hound, Basenji, Basset Hound, Bloodhound, Chow Chow, Dalmatian, Fox and Kerry Blue Terrier, Irish Setter, Pekingese, Pit Bull Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, and a Rottweiler.

I first met Beth when I was trying to understand my rescue dog's food aggression. We had consulted and attended classes of several trainers but the piece we were missing was understanding why this behavior was happening. Beth helped identify the issue right away and helped us create a home environment and manage our expectations of being in public with Ivy. This was like a light bulb moment for me that I am so appreciative for. Beth has always been instrumental in helping with our fear-based foster Brady. When we brought him into our home, he wouldn't leave his crate. He had been abused and was terrified of everything — people, sounds, movement. Beth coached us from day one and was ready to answer whenever I needed her. It was incredible watching Brady leave the crate and grow to a tail-wagging, playing, happy dog that loved to cuddle. At one point in his process, Brady began to develop some resource guarding with a couch and Beth knew how to address it immediately. Her advice transformed Brady's relationship with our other dogs and they all could coexist without any issues. We can't thank her enough and are so appreciative of all her hard work and advice. I 1000% recommend her services.
